How to Choose the Best Flake Colors for Your Epoxy Floor Coating
May 5, 2025

Epoxy and polyaspartic floor coatings aren’t just functional—they’re a big part of your home’s style. One of the most exciting parts of customizing your coated floor is selecting the perfect flake color combination. Whether it’s a garage, patio, or showroom, the right color mix can enhance brightness, camouflage imperfections, and complement your overall design.

At DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings, we help homeowners across the Dallas–Fort Worth area create floors that are as attractive as they are durable. If you’re stuck wondering “Which epoxy flake color should I choose?”—this blog is for you.

What Are Epoxy Flakes?

Epoxy flakes (also known as vinyl flakes or decorative chips) are small pieces of colored vinyl that are broadcast over the coating layer during installation. Once sealed in place with a durable topcoat, they provide:

  • Visual texture and depth
  • Custom color options
  • Improved slip resistance
  • Excellent stain and scratch camouflage

They’re available in dozens of colors and blends, allowing for nearly endless creativity.

Top Flake Color Ideas for Garages

Here are some popular epoxy flake color schemes DFW homeowners love:

🎨 Domino (Black, White, Gray)

Classic and clean. This monochrome palette complements most garage walls, cars, and storage cabinets.

🎨 Nightfall (Charcoal, Blue, Gray)

Great for a modern, industrial look—especially in darker garages or workshops.

🎨 Shoreline (Beige, Cream, Taupe)

Perfect for brightening up patios or garages attached to tan or stone-accented homes.

🎨 Saddle Tan (Brown, Tan, Black)

Warm and earthy—pairs well with brick homes and traditional styles.

🎨 Custom Flake Blends

Want your favorite sports team colors or a unique brand look? We offer custom flake blends tailored to your vision.

Tips for Choosing the Right Flake Color

Not sure where to start? Follow these steps:

Match Your Home’s Exterior

Coordinate with trim, paint, or stonework to ensure a cohesive outdoor look (especially for patios and driveways).

Consider Lighting

Dark flakes absorb more light, making the space look smaller. Light blends brighten up dim garages.

Factor in Usage

Use your garage as a gym or workspace? Choose flakes that hide dirt, oil, or debris better—like grays and tans.

Add Personality

Your garage doesn’t have to be boring. Pick a flake blend that makes you smile every time you walk in.

Ask for Samples

We always provide real flake samples so you can see what the floor will look like in your space before we begin.

Are Custom Colors Available?

Absolutely! At DFW Flake & Epoxy, we offer a wide variety of standard blends—but if you have a specific vision, we can create a custom flake floor design. Whether you’re matching a business logo, team colors, or your interior design, we can help make it happen.

How Durable Are Flake Floors?

All our flake floors are sealed with high-performance topcoats designed to:

  • Resist scratches and chemicals
  • Prevent peeling and flaking
  • Handle hot tire pickup
  • Maintain color vibrancy for years

So not only will your floor look great—it’ll stay that way.

Choosing the right flake color is one of the best ways to personalize your epoxy floor. Whether you want a sleek garage, a welcoming patio, or a showroom-style finish, DFW Flake & Epoxy Floor Coatings can bring your vision to life.
